Antiwork

Boomers are so wild. Was talking to a coworker in her 70s today and she was agonizing over taking PTO. She gets 4wks bc she’s been with our org so long I blew her mind when I said that it’s time she’s rightfully earned, not time that’s bestowed upon her by the boss. Don’t think of it as asking permission, you’re fucking telling her lol. You are taking the time off, they can figure out how to adjust She said that was so wise. It’s not tho, it’s just millennial/Gen z energy

My father worked for a large British car manufacturer. They make sports car's and 4×4's etc. He worked there for 35 years, and retired last year. He was in the process of having his pension fund (around 500k British Pounds) transferred to a financial advisor. This process was taking time as his old employer had historic delays to ensure this wasnt a smooth process. He passed away suddenly about 2 months after his retirement. The transfer still not near completion, and him no longer an employee of said car company, we were told his pension pot had gone. He worked for 35 years to save this money, to travel and enjoy his retirement years. He was 58. As soon as his old employer realized they were no longer bound legally to offer this lump sum, or anywhere near this figure, they did exactly that. No letter's, no well wishes, no…

My boss asked me to call her to talk about it when I brought up the schedule. She didn’t even tell me, I just found it today when checking. She said that nobody can cover my shift, and that I’ll have to work anyhow. What can I do to combat this?? Edit: I would call out, but she essentially told me that I’ll be fired if I call out or if I’m late again. (I have been sick twice within the past 90 days)

Right now, the capitalism you all shit on is called ‘neo feudalism’. What is neo feudalism? It’s Exactly what we’ve been going through since 2008… here’s a trusted source called Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-feudalism Alright, so let’s go over the 4 kinds of capitalism: oligarchic capitalism: A political economic system where few capitalists have complete control over the economy and government Basically; rich control government and money. State guided capitalisim: State capitalism is an economic system in which the state undertakes business and commercial (i.e. for-profit) economic activity and where the means of production are nationalized as state-owned enterprises (including the processes of capital accumulation, centralized management and wage labor). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_capitalism Basically; the state owns their nationalized means of production Entrepreneurial capitalism: Basically the free market and everything or most things are privatized This can end really good or horribly in a monarchy The true villain is greed, not capitalism. And I…

So the place I’m working at used to give me about ~25-35 hours a week. Good enough pay + tips, but after I started going to school again they cut my hours WAY more than they needed to. I’m barely working 20 hours this month. So, basically it’s not enough to even pay for the gas money to drive there. I haven’t asked for more hours because I feel like it’s a waste of time, but maybe it’s worth a shot? Wondering if I should just quit and spend my time looking for other opportunities. I wonder if anyone has advice for me?

for context, i’m 19 and work casual in a bakery section in a supermarket to make my living wage. i work 30 + hours per week while halfway through my teaching degree. I am currently the only staff member who can be relied on to do the work; the staff have not trained anyone to do the work as it’s an autonomous work environment. It’s one person at a time who runs and handles the inventory and ovens and sales (without any help from anyone else and no training prior). I sometimes can forget to come into work due to having to balance between university and work. My management have an extremely high turnover rate and it’s very often to only see someone for two weeks before never seeing them again; due to harassment and overall lack of care towards their workers. My management never care or understood my need…

I wonder if she'll laugh when she reads my reply like I did when I read her offer https://preview.redd.it/6hzk7op7u2m81.png?width=782&format=png&auto=webp&s=cb42d43a31df9bf80a00fc50b1d3154ad9e3edc5
